keep this in mind. This time of year the male bass won't actually STRIKE your lure. They will pick it up and move it out of the nest they are making. So be a line watcher. Any change in your line like, a thump,or it moving to one side or even your line going slack abruptly is a male moving the lure, set the hook.
When the females get on the bed they will hit anything you get "in the zone" of the bed. Drop a large soft plastic lizard on the nest and she will NAIL IT. Even buzzbaits or any topwater that makes noise will get her to strike. You might have to cast that lure over the "bed" serveral times to piss her off and get the strike.
Most of the lunker and record bass are caught this time of year all around the usa. If slow isn't working pop a spinnner bait or buzzbait past the nest and then run it over it again and again.
I sometimes cast to the same area and reel in 10 times and get the strike that many casts over the same area.
good luck.
